Chongzhen 10th year, September 20.

Daming, in Shandong, is located between Jinan City and Dezhou, and a matter of great significance has occurred, which has aroused the discussion and attention of countless people at home and abroad.

It also made countless Shandong people feel excited and cheered, proud and proud.

Because in the territory of Daming, the first concrete box girder continuous steel structure construction, span more than two thousand meters, the maximum span of 150 meters, allow large ships to pass, and play a role in communicating the traffic on both sides of the Yellow River Bridge, in Xujiazhuang professional bridge repair team efforts, after nearly two years of construction, finally successfully completed!

The poem 'A bridge flies north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare', turning it into a reality in front of us.

The dual-purpose project allows a large number of passengers and goods to pass through, compressing the ferry time that would have taken at least half an hour to less than 10 minutes by express train or train.

Compared with the previous ferry crossing method, the construction of this Yellow River bridge can save at least 1% of the cost in terms of logistics alone.

In addition to the huge economic promotion effect, it also brings great significance in three aspects.

First, the opening of the Yellow River Bridge means that a super river like the Yellow River will no longer be an insurmountable obstacle to people, but a small challenge that can be conquered with infrastructure technology, but can be overcome.

Since the Yellow River bridges can be built, the Yangtze River Bridge, the Qianjiang Bridge, the Pearl River Bridge, etc., can all be built and completed in the future, so as to open up a number of traffic arteries, make economic development more active, and people's exchanges will become more efficient and convenient.

Second, it means that many natural hazards are gone.

Xujiazhuang's bridge repair team, with such a strong infrastructure force, can be according to the need, according to the economic benefits of the situation, to build more bridges, but also to achieve longer length, larger span, better service life and quality, that is, as long as it is profitable, such large bridges, sooner or later appear on any big river.

Militarily, as long as the bridge is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the Yellow River, and tens of thousands of troops can be easily sent to the other side of the Yellow River, and the efficiency of transporting troops can be increased to more than 10,000 people per hour.

With such a terrifying efficiency of troop transportation, how can the defenders still make defenses, and how can they have time to stop them? Lying down completely has become the best choice, and Xujiazhuang firmly controls this bridge, which is basically equivalent to militarily, controlling and radiating the place north of the Yellow River, and you can handle it as you want in the future.

Third, it means that human beings have more resources available and the space for survival and development becomes broader.

For example, in many poor mountainous areas, it doesn't matter that the people in them are relatively poor, but as long as there are a large number of mines in the mountains, you can build bridge-like roads to enter them, and dig a few more tunnels, and then the resources in the mountains will be continuously transported out of the energy to achieve prosperity.

Fruit tree planting, mountain forest breeding, herbal medicine planting, tourism and other industries can also be developed in mountainous areas, and there are many development directions.

You can also travel through the endless Gobi and desert and explore the land of the Western Regions.

Or through land bridges, the South Seas can be connected to facilitate better management and intervention, and where there is a problem, it can be quickly resolved.

In short, the future development space may be expanded several times at once.

Opportunity.

Countless opportunities.

Therefore, after the construction of the Yellow River Bridge in Jinan, most of the responses of public opinion are expected and excited, expressing a welcoming attitude, but there are also many voices that are worried and afraid:

"Xujiazhuang's ability to repair bridges is so terrifying, the Yellow River has become invisible, what else can be in the future, can it become an obstacle in front of Xujiazhuang?"

"If we build a few more bridges across the river, the Ming Dynasty will basically be in the hands of Xujiazhuang, and we will all become turtles in the urn."

"That's right, in the future, if Xujiazhuang wants us to live, if he wants us to die, if he wants us to be rich, if he wants us to be poor, he will be poor."

"It's time to take some measures to curb the threat of Xujiazhuang to us, if it continues to develop like this, even if Xujiazhuang does not change the dynasty, it will be an uncrowned king."

"But what about worrying? We are not Xujiazhuang's opponents, and we are not capable of building a similar bridge, so we can only conform to this era dominated by Xujiazhuang. ”

"My hometown is quite remote and backward, hundreds of miles of detour to get out of the mountains, the economy is backward and poor, and there is a lack of resources, can Xujiazhuang help us build a few bridges to solve the traffic problem in my hometown?"

"Hehe, what a dream, such a bridge, the cost is more than 3 million silver dollars, I don't know how long it will take to earn back the cost of repairing the bridge, you just sell your hometown, and you can't make up the money to build the bridge, even if the loan has to be repaid for dozens of hundreds of years, Xujiazhuang will not do this kind of loss-making business with a long payback cycle."

"Poor places are still poor, if you have the conditions, you can go out of the mountains, instead of letting expensive infrastructure facilities into the mountains, my mine is seriously short of manpower, it is better for you to bring your relatives in the mountains to work in my mine, to ensure that you make a fortune and make a lot of money."

"Get out!"

……

Imperial Palace, Yaohua Building.

Room 901, the room where Zhang Yan lives.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the content in today's issue of the "Oriental Times" and the color pictures on the front page of the news, the magnificent super bridge.

Although this bridge made Zhang Yan sigh in her heart, Xujiazhuang's industrial capacity was so strong that it really realized the 'natural moat into a thoroughfare' that Xu Yuan bragged about, promoted the flow of passengers and goods, and greatly facilitated the people on both sides of the Yellow River.

But......

"If Xujiazhuang sends troops one day in the future to attack the capital and take this Yellow River bridge, it will not take a few days to go all the way to the foot of the capital, and even the capital will not be able to react, it will fall into the hands of Xujiazhuang, and the royal family of the Zhu family will decline."

"That is to say, as long as Xu Yuan wants to do something rebellious, as long as he moves his lips, and then within a few days, he may achieve his goal, whether the Ming Dynasty exists or not, is tied to his thoughts, plus Xu Jiazhuang's attempt at the 'King's Manor' in North Korea, once it is a great success, it can make Xu Jiazhuang earn countless money at the same time, but also do not have to bear too much burden, and the people's hearts can also be attached, in the case of all three, being an emperor is naturally much better than being a businessman."

"Five years? Three years? Or two years later, when it is the right time for Xu Yuan to do it, I only have two or three years left for my comfortable life? At that time, he will take Xu Jiajun into the capital, should I commit suicide and martyrdom, or take the initiative to dedicate myself and seek a life for the royal family, or would rather be broken than broken, and all the royal family members will die in resistance, and I will never succumb to a businessman, in order to show the strength of the Ming royal family? ”

Shook his head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan felt very anxious and couldn't calm down.

And her anxiety comes partly from the report of "Oriental Times", but most of it comes from the various brainwashing of Emperor Zhu Youzhen and Empress Zhou on her these days.

Zhu Youzhen briefed her on the progress of the king's manor on the Korean side, saying that the officials of the Korean people were happy and energetic, and had burst out with unprecedented energy, and it was said that "they have not yet come out of the dilapidation, but they have seen signs of prosperity", and the development speed may be several times that of the Ming Dynasty, which proves that the king's manor is very likely to be a great success.

Zhou Yufeng, the queen of Zhou, said a lot of dissatisfied words against that Fang Qingyan in her ear, what kind of small-minded, stingy and arrogant, villainous ambition, hostile to the royal family, etc., in short, she is a very bad woman, her threat level may be a hundred times that of Xu Yuan, because after a hundred years of Xu Yuan, Xu Jiazhuang's person may be her, or her son Xu Jiaguang, and after Xu Jiazhuang Fang Qingyan is in charge, the royal family will still have a good life, will there be good fruits to eat?

It's good if it's not destroyed right away.

The couple's side-knocking words, how can Zhang Yan not know what they actually want to express? is nothing more than hoping that she will come forward, sacrifice for the royal family, tempt her with beauty, take down that Xu Yuan, and gradually fight against Fang Qingyan to defend the interests of the royal family.

Zhang Yan was extremely resistant to their calculations, but thinking of the crisis faced by the royal family, she still had to slowly understand them, after all, if there was a better way, why bother her as a widow repeatedly.

Even once, Zhang Yan had to say to Zhou Yufeng: "I am old, my complexion is flabby, wrinkles have appeared at the corners of my eyes, I am old-fashioned and boring, even if I am willing to help, it is difficult to catch his heart when I go to Xu Yuan's side, at most three months, I will be bored with me, in addition, I was persecuted by the Hakka family in my early years, I lost my fertility, it is difficult to come out, I am not the opponent of Fang Qingyan, who has given birth to three sons and one daughter, I have no capital to compete with her." ”

She calmly and objectively made an analysis, but she couldn't help but blush.

Queen Zhou is overjoyed and loosened, and the position of the imperial sister-in-law has been loosened, which is a good thing, a great thing.

Then it was comforted, persuading her not to be presumptuous, now she is the most charming time in her youth, and then take good care of it, there is no problem with Xu Yuan's grace for ten years, as for fertility, it is not necessarily really lost, as long as you take care of it well, and ask for more, maybe you can create a miracle, the old clam contains pearls......

Later, Zhou Yufeng couldn't continue, she was pushed and driven out by Zhang Yan, who was extremely ashamed.

Come back to your senses.

Zhang Yan still has a feeling that her pretty face is hot, she is conservative and traditional, and she can't stand those unhealthy things.

"Imperial sister-in-law, are you reading the newspaper?"

At this time, Queen Zhou's familiar face came over, and when she saw the newspaper and headline pictures in her hand, she suddenly moved in her heart and put forward an idea: "Sister-in-law, this newspaper says that the Yellow River Bridge has been opened to traffic, any car can pass by, and it is more convenient to go to Xujiazhuang, why don't we go to Harbour City again this year to purchase a batch of New Year's goods, by the way, take a look at this bridge, take a few photos, and conduct a field trip, how about it?" ”
